How to Make Brown Sugar At Home

Everybody has certain flavors that make them absolutely melt. Some people have chocolate, others have cinnamon. For me, it’s brown sugar. I don’t think I’ve ever made it through an entire cookie recipe without sneaking a spoonful (or five) for myself.

Needless to say, I go through a lot of brown sugar. I’m also the world’s most forgetful person and I’m terrible at keeping grocery lists, so I often find myself in extremely stressful, brown sugar-less situations.
